At the points of entry of the con- Be it known that I, Ema Momma aci zen .of the United States, and aresident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook and 6 State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mangles, of which the following is a specification.

M .invention re atesto improvements han operated mangles designed for use in connection with the same character of work as the ordinary sad iron.

The object of my invention is the production of a device of this character which will be of extremely simple construction, onev It whichmay be readily and easily operated,

and which will be highly eflicient in use. Other objects will appear hereinafter. The invention consists in the combinations I '-II t8 0f parts'hereinafter d9- laimed scribed an e The invention will be best understood by. ieference to thef athgagompan' dra ormmg a part 0 which the section through a hand mangle the invention. v

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the dra comprises a hollow metallic roller 1 ha end ieces or so heads 2 threaded into osition. he end pieces 2 are formed wi central openings with which spaced coaxial studs-3 rovided at the ifurcated front end of a dle 4. The rearward end of said handle is provided with a suitable 'p 5 which is adapted to be --;1;-' by t e operator in manipulating the device. I

wlthintherollerlisanelectrical h element 6 adapted when energized toe ect heating of said roller. The conductor wires 7 with the terminals of the heating element 6 pass through thestuds3and'thehandle4 therebemg- '7' formed Eandle for the -------tio 1(1 of conuctor wires. e cooperating with the two condu dto separate and independent of each other as seemsoastoinsureagamstanyshortdr- 60 cuitmgsuchasmghtresultwhere thewiresarebroughtm contactwitheach over the article to be ironed.

ductor wires into the interior of the roller, are rovided closure members 8 through whic said wires t1project, said'closure members preventing e entryef any dust, dirt or foreign matter into the interior of the roller.

In using the device, it is only 11 ry to a current through the conductor wires which will efiect heating of the element 6 and hence the roller 1,the device being then manipulated by the hand to as the roller f desired, the periphery of the roller may be covered with a wrapping 9 of fabric or other suitable material. Because of the simplicity of operation, work may be rapidly and easily executed, and because of the simplicity of construction, there is little likelihood of the device becoming disabled.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for caniymg my invention into efi'e'ct, this is capab e .o variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but" desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope the appended claim. A

Having described my invention what I! claim as new and desire to secure by Letters li liaiii ad 1 0 re mang e comprising a It handle; aholl w roller rotatabl supported by said handle; an electrical ea element arranged in said roller;electri conductor wires coo ra with said heating element, said ro er ha ends for the entrance 0 said condu 5 wires; and closures at the inner sides of said openings through which said conductor wires pass, tially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my 05 name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnemes.
